What to Watch Out For

Safety Instructions When working with the FRITZ!Box Fon WLAN 7340, ob-

serve the following security instructions in order to protect

yourself and the FRITZ!Box from harm.

• Do not install the FRITZ!Box during an electrical

storm.

• Disconnect FRITZ!Box from the power supply during

electrical storms.

• Never let liquids get inside the FRITZ!Box. Otherwise,

electric shocks or short circuits may result.

• The FRITZ!Box is intended for indoor use only.

• Do not open the FRITZ!Box housing. The device con-

tains hazardous components and should only be

opened by authorized repair technicians.

Handling the

FRITZ!Box

You can either place FRITZ!Box on a horizontal surface or

mount it on a wall. Please note the following:

• Place or hang the FRITZ!Box in a dry location that is

free of dust and protected from direct sunlight.

For ideal operating conditions, mount the FRITZ!Box

on a wall with the cables connected on the bottom.

• Do not place FRITZ!Box on excessively heat-sensitive

surfaces, as the base of the device can heat up dur-

ing normal operation.

• Make sure that the ventilation slits are unobstructed.

For this reason the FRITZ!Box should not be placed on

a carpet or on upholstered furniture. The ventilation

slits provide for air cooling of the FRITZ!Box.

• When connecting FRITZ!Box to your computer using

the network, remember to take the length of the ca-

ble into account.

9

Security and Handling

• If you would like to establish wireless connections

between FRITZ!Box and the computer, position the

device at a central location.

• Make sure to keep sufficient distance from potential

sources of interference like microwave devices or

electric devices with large metal housings.

2 FRITZ!Box Fon WLAN 7340

An Overview

The FRITZ!Box connects your computers directly with your DSL or VDSL

line. Each connected computer can establish an Internet connection

over the FRITZ!Box. As a WLAN access point, FRITZ!Box offers you the

possibility of connecting your computer to the DSL or VDSL line wire-

lessly.

The FRITZ!Box is a Private Branch Exchange (PBX) for making telephone

calls via the Internet and the fixed-line network (ISDN and analog).

PBX Two analog telephones, fax machines and answering ma-

chines can be connected to FRITZ!Box.

Using Cordless

Telephones

Thanks to the DECT function, the FRITZ!Box can be used as

a basis station for cordless phones. Every cordless phone

that supports the DECT-GAP standard can be registered at

the FRITZ!Box.

Connecting

Computers

Two computers can be connected directly to the FRITZ!Box

using the LAN ports.

You can also connect a network hub or switch to the LAN

ports so that even more computers can be connected to

FRITZ!Box.

WLAN Access Point The FRITZ!Box is a WLAN access point. All computers that

support WLAN can be wirelessly connected to the

FRITZ!Box.

FRITZ!Box Fon WLAN 7340

Locale Network All of the computers connected with the FRITZ!Box consti-

tute a network and can share access to any files released

for file sharing.

Internet All of the computers connected to the FRITZ!Box can ac-

cess the Internet.

The FRITZ!Box works as a DSL router, making the Internet

connection available to all connected computers. All con-

nected computers can then use the Internet connection at

the same time.

Firewall The FRITZ!Box is equipped with an integrated firewall. The

integrated firewall protects your network from attacks

from the Internet as long as the FRITZ!Box is operated as a

router.

USB Port The FRITZ!Box is equipped with two ports for USB devices,

to which you can connect USB storage devices (hard drive,

stick), a printer, one of the FRITZ!WLAN USB Sticks, a USB

hub or other devices (see page 62).

The USB port supports the USB 2.0 and USB 1.1 stan-

dards.

If you use one of the FRITZ!WLAN USB Sticks by AVM, AVM

Stick & Surf technology is at your disposal. Use

Stick & Surf to adopt the WLAN security settings from the

FRITZ!Box quickly and conveniently.

For connecting a printer, FRITZ!Box has a printer server. Al-

ternatively, the USB remote connection is available for the

use of printers.

Media Server An integrated media server makes music, image and

video files available in the local network. USB storage with

a media collection is simply connected to the FRITZ!Box. A

suitable playback device linked to the local network can

then playback these media contents. Suitable devices in-

clude all devices compatible with the UPnP AV standard.

Network Devices Other network devices can also be connected to the net-

work ports of the FRITZ!Box, for instance game consoles.

your network adapter with the setting “DHCP”, if this

setting is not already configured.

3. Insert one end of the LAN cable to the computer’s

network adapter.

4. Connect the other end of the network cable to the

socket on FRITZ!Box labeled “LAN 1” or “LAN 2”.

Now the FRITZ!Box and computer are connected to each

other.

Connecting More Computers to the LAN Ports

Additional cables are required to connect further comput-

ers. In purchasing a LAN cable, note the instructions in the

section “Network Cable” on page 118.

You can connect a computer to any of the two LAN ports of

the FRITZ!Box at any time.

ports on the FRITZ!Box if you would like to connect multi-

ple computers via LAN.

Connecting FRITZ!Box to a network hub

Connecting Set aside the network cable (yellow) from the FRITZ!Box

package.

1. Connect one end of the LAN cable to the uplink port

of the network hub or switch.

2. Connect the other end of the cable to one of the LAN

sockets on the FRITZ!Box.

The FRITZ!Box and network hub are now connected with

each other.

3.4 Connecting Computer(s) Wirelessly via WLAN

Using WLAN you can connect one or multiple computers

with the FRITZ!Box wirelessly.

The wireless WLAN connection is independent of the oper-

ating system used. Each computer to be connected to the

FRITZ!Box via WLAN must be equipped with a compatible

WLAN adapter, for instance the FRITZ!WLAN USB Stick.

Many modern computers and notebooks have an integrat-

ed WLAN adapter.

Connecting the FRITZ!WLAN USB Stick

AVM Stick & Surf If you are using the FRITZ!WLAN USB Stick N. the

FRITZ!WLAN USB Stick N 2.4 or the FRITZ!WLAN USB Stick

by AVM as a WLAN adapter, you can establish a secure

WLAN connection quickly and conveniently using the AVM

Stick & Surf technology.

1. Switch on your computer.

2. Insert your FRITZ!WLAN USB Stick into one of the USB

ports on the FRITZ!Box.

The WLAN security settings are transmitted automati-

cally to the FRITZ!WLAN USB Stick. The “INFO” LED on

the FRITZ!Box begins flashing rapidly.

As soon as the “INFO” LED stops flashing, transmis-

sion of the settings has been concluded.

3. Remove the FRITZ!WLAN USB Stick from the device.

4. Now insert the FRITZ!WLAN USB Stick into the USB

port on your computer.

The security settings saved on the FRITZ!WLAN USB Stick

are applied to the computer. Now the FRITZ!Box and

FRITZ!WLAN USB Stick are connected with each other wire-

lessly.

Establishing a WLAN Connection Using WPS

If you are using a WLAN adapter from another manufactur-

er and your WLAN adapter supports WPS (Wi-Fi Protected

Setup), you can also use this mechanism to establish the

WLAN connection between your computer and the

FRITZ!Box. For detailed instructions about how to do so,

see the section “WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup)” from

page 142.

For more information, see the manual on the AVM

FRITZ!WLAN USB Stick N, the manual for the AVM

FRITZ!WLAN USB Stick N 2.4, or the manual for the AVM

FRITZ!WLAN USB Stick.

Establishing a WLAN Connection Manually

Installing a WLAN

Adapter

If you are using a WLAN adapter from another manufactur-

er, you can also establish the WLAN connection manually.

To do so, proceed as follows:

1. Switch on your computer.

2. Install the WLAN adapter in your computer along with

the appropriate software. Please take note of the in-

structions in the documentation of the adapter.

3. In order to establish a WLAN connection to the

FRITZ!Box, you can use the WLAN software for the

WLAN adapter, or the WLAN software supplied with

the operating system.

Establishing a

Connection

The FRITZ!Box is delivered with preset values for WLAN se-

curity. You must enter these values during the configura-

tion of the WLAN adapter.

If you would like to establish a WLAN connection using

these preset values, then your WLAN adapter must sup-

port the WPA encryption procedure.

1. Start the WLAN software.

2. Enter the following values for the connection be-

tween the FRITZ!Box and the WLAN adapter:

3. Confirm your entries using the relevant button in the

user interface (for instance, “OK” or “Connect”).

Now your WLAN adapter and the FRITZ!Box are connected

with each other wirelessly.

Please see the instructions in the section “Opening the

User Interface” on page 26. See also the information on

WLAN security in the section “Security” from page 131.

WPA Not Supported If your WLAN adapter does not support WPA encryption,

you must convert the encryption set in the FRITZ!Box to

WEP. For this you must change the WLAN settings in the

FRITZ!Box. To do so, proceed as follows:

1. Connect the FRITZ!Box and the computer using the

network cable (yellow) (see the section “Connecting

Computers to the LAN Port” from page 15).

2. Start a web browser on your computer.

3. Enter fritz.box

in the address field of the browser.

4. Select the “WLAN / Security” menu.

5. Then select WEP encryption and enter a network key.

6. Click the “Apply” button.

A window is displayed with the WLAN security set-

tings.

7. Make a note of the settings or print out the page by

clicking the printer icon in the toolbar.

8. Close the user interface and clear the connection be-

tween the FRITZ!Box and the computer. Remove the

network cable (yellow).

9. Configure your WLAN adapter with the security set-

tings entered in the FRITZ!Box.

The WLAN connection between your WLAN adapter and

the FRITZ!Box will be established.

We strongly recommend the use of a WLAN adapter that

supports WPA or WPA2 (for instance, an AVM

FRITZ!WLAN USB Stick, see also page 18). WEP is out of

date and data encrypted with WEP can be deciphered

within minutes.
